“Fast-paced, and a thrill on every
page!”
When Archie Doyle’s long time
friend, Fatty Corcoran is set up for a kill, but fails, the mob boss sends his
top enforcer, Terry Quinn to see who set him up and why. In a complicated plot,
there are too many loose ends to tie things together, but slowly Quinn starts
making headway. Is there a mob war in the works? Archie Doyle controls the west
side, while Howard Rothman and Ira Shiparo control the east side, and matters
don’t look good for peace to continue if Rothman’s gang has set them up.
There are no white hats in this
novel. It is exactly what it is supposed to be, an inside look at the mob in
1930. With mature language and violent mob hits, the author doesn’t back off
the gritty tale. This is a time when the mob has the police and politicians in
their pockets. Crooked cops are on the take, and the mobs control the money.
Gang warfare heats up and blood spills on the streets.
Terrence McCauley’s writing is
topnotch, and his pacing never lets down for a second. You may not like the
characters, but you’ll root for them to win anyway.
Thanks for the great review here, Tom, it is truly appreciated.
